This query is : Resolved
My Grand father had given his ancestral property to 3 persons. My father,My father's brother (My Chacha) & my Father's Sister (My Chachi). My Chacha sold some of his ancestral property and was in financial debts. So My Father exchanged his large property and also paid money to my Chacha for his small property with the ancestral house. Since my Father has purchased it, will it remain ancestral property or will it be considered to be self acquired property

Sanjeev Ji has replied correctly.
after partition the rights have been determined and the property has been divided further the title is also transfered.
later on any transaction made qua the property by the father from his own assets will become father's self acquired property.

If the property purchased by your father is registered one from your chacha, it is self acquired of your father, otherwise it remains ancesestral.

Dear Nishant,
I do feel that this is a good forum. If people really know their rights and limitations a lot of unwanted legal battles can be avoided. All the answers given by eminent personalities including you states that the said property is not an ancestral one. My query had already been solved as I mentioned earlier but your answer shows a new dimension to it although the answer to my query is the same.
